Last updated:
Bulldogs: Lachlan Galvin will make his club debut from the bench in jersey No.23 following his release from Wests Tigers last week, pushing Kurt Morrin to 18th man. Bailey Hayward starts at lock and Kurt Mann moves to the bench in a game day switch. Centre Stephen Crichton (Origin), prop Max King (Origin), lock Kurt Mann (Origin), winger Jacob Kiraz (calf) and prop Daniel Suluka-Fifita (concussion) are all back on deck in a huge boost for the Bulldogs.
Eels: Youngster Joash Papalii has been added to the bench an hour before kick-off with Ryan Matterson making way. That comes after Luca Moretti dropped out of the squad on Sunday and Matt Doorey was added to the bench in jumper No.19. Joey Lussick is 18th man. Will Penisini returns from a concussion in the centres so Jordan Samrani moves to the bench.
